“You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.” ― William Wilberforce

The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has released the fifth video in it’s series of undercover footage taken while investigating Planned Parenthood’s (PP) business practices. In the latest video CMP’s investigators can be seen meeting with the Director of Research of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast who is giving her best sales pitch by explaining that PP is the only facility with the training and experience to deliver “intact fetuses.” Over the first four videos (see here and here) CMP has taken care to establish that PP breaks federal laws in several different and significant ways, and this latest video continues that terrible trend.

The PP representative in this video is Melissa Farrell, and she’s doing her very best to get CMP’s business.

“Where we probably have an edge over other organizations, our organization has been doing research for many many years,” explains Farrell. When researchers need a specific part from the aborted fetus, Farrell says, “We bake that into our contract, and our protocol, that we follow this, so we deviate from our standard in order to do that.”

Asked specifically if this means Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast can change abortion procedures to supply intact fetal specimens, Farrell affirms, “Some of our doctors in the past have projects and they’re collecting the specimens, so they do it in a way that they get the best specimens, so I know it can happen.“

The investigators ask Farrell how she will frame a contract in which they pay a higher price for higher quality fetal body parts, and she replies, “We can work it out in the context of–obviously, the procedure itself is more complicated,” suggesting that “without having you cover the procedural cost” and paying for the abortion, the higher specimen price could be framed as “additional time, cost, administrative burden.”

Farrell finally summarizes her affiliate’s approach to fetal tissue payments: “If we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this. It’s all just a matter of line items.”

The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2). Federal law also requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).

Farrell also indicates to the investigators over lunch that the specimen sales from her department contribute significantly to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s overall finances: “I think everyone realizes, especially because my department contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here, you know we’re one of the largest affiliates, our Research Department is the largest in the United States. Larger than any the other affiliates’ combined.” In a Texas Senate hearing on July 29, former Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic director Abby Johnson estimated that the affiliate had previously made up to $120,000 per month off of aborted fetal tissue.

The video is the fifth by The Center for Medical Progress documenting Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal parts. Project Lead David Daleiden notes: “This is now the fifth member of Planned Parenthood leadership discussing payments for aborted baby parts without any connection to actual costs of so-called tissue ‘donation.’ Planned Parenthood’s system-wide conspiracy to evade the law and make money off of aborted fetal tissue is now undeniable.” Daleiden continues, “Anyone who watches these videos knows that Planned Parenthood is engaged in barbaric practices and human rights abuses that must end. There is no reason for an organization that uses illegal abortion methods to sell baby parts and commit such atrocities against humanity to still receive over $500 million each year from taxpayers.”

(Just a warning: the video is as disgusting as the previous four – this one gets particularly nauseating after the 11 minute mark.)

Even with the wealth of evidence PP continues to pretend that they’ve done nothing wrong and their fans in the Democrat Party continue to offer their unwavering support. I would imagine that even some of you, dear readers, still give assent whether intellectually or simply emotionally to the “value” and “benefit” of Planned Parenthood. This belief and the support PP has garnered is wrong, Planned Parenthood is a criminal organization that has long profited on the misery of others and the mass slaughter of our children.
